KITTERY, Maine — A car traveling south on Route 236 veered into the northbound lane and crashed into two more vehicles Wednesday afternoon, police said.

Emergency responders were called at 3:58 p.m. to the accident, which reduced northbound traffic to one lane, slowing traffic.

The southbound car was in the area of Kennebec Equipment Rental when the male driver veered into the northbound lane, striking two northbound cars, according to Kittery police officer Christopher Kondos.

The driver of the southbound car was sent to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Kondos said. The officer said the accident is being investigated and it's not yet known if any charges will be filed. Names of the people involved in the crash were not immediately released. The drivers of the other cars declined medical attention, police said.

A fourth vehicle was involved in the accident, getting hit by debris from the crash, police said. All three vehicles directly involved in the crash sustained significant damage and were towed from the scene. The fourth car drove away.

Kittery firefighters were called to clean up the scene. One of the vehicles had radiator fluid leak onto the road.
